Wait til you learn the Spanish way.
In Spain you get a gun license for a specific activity, and then you license the gun itself for a particular activity.
So say you want to eat duck and therefore need to hunt for ducks. You get a Gun License for Hunting, then you get a shotgun and then you license the shotgun as a hunting weapon.
Then you get a short barrel revolver for self-protection. You get a Gun License for Self Defense and license the gun as a defense gun. This part is getting imaginative because nobody ever gets this license granted unless they are a politician or soccer player, but you get the idea.
Now imagine you want to participate in some target shooting competition in your area. Well, you are fucked because you aren't licensed for target shooting competitions and you don't have a gun registered as a defense gun.
You can't keep your shotgun under the bar in the tavern you run because your shotgun is not a self-defense weapon (even if you are licensed for self-defense gun ownership). And if you use your shotgun to humanely put down an injured cow in your village you will get charged for illegal ownership and posession of a forbidden weapon because using a weapon for a non licensed purpose is pretty much like using a weapon without license.
Then yes there is all the theatre of having the gun locked in a safe cabinet and most licensing modalities don't allow you to have more than one or two boxes of ammo at home.
